What about Turnigy 3s 5000mah 25C packs? My friend has owned two and they are still good after over a year. But a couple of the same packs came with a used truck and one is now very puffy and going to be disposed of.

I have had bad luck with my Turnigy 5200mah 30C 2s hardcase packs. The cases were thin and broke at the wire exit. They have very little punch now and 2 cells of the 6 are no good. They are over a year old and were run in 6s on a 1518 in a Revo. I wouldn't buy them again. I think it was mostly because I kept them fully charged in between runs (2 or 3 days) instead of at a storage charge.

I also haven't had good luck with my Gens Ace 4000mah 30C 2s hardcase pack that I use in my MM/5700kv Rustler. It only takes about 3500mah I think. And it is less than a year old. But it does have plenty of punch.

Maybe it's all just me tho. Use a Turnigy Accucell 6 to charge all my packs at 6A. Recently been keeping them at storage charges between runs, but I'll need more than a 50W charger to top them all off before I go drive in a reasonable amount of time.
